Will You SEE Me?

Have you seen someone panhandling and thought to yourself, “Why don’t they get a job? Should I give cash? Are they scamming? Or perhaps, what’s their story?”

“Will You SEE Me?” offers a fresh perspective of living on the streets by those struggling to survive. It is a tapestry of powerful stories, thoughtfully captured in this limited-edition, hardbound coffee table book.

We invite you to order your book now and consider getting a second copy as a GIFT for a friend or family member.

A Message from Our Executive Director

Good in the ‘Hood is dedicated to Simply Making a Difference by Bringing HELP and Inspiring HOPE for all those we have the privilege to work alongside and to serve. Although our service opportunities are not solely limited to the urban community, we do have a purposeful inner-city affinity and a commitment to come alongside those with the greatest need.

We believe that goodness and kindness are inspirational, change-agent qualities and it is our firm conviction that urban renewal can begin when a focused and contagious momentum of genuine kindness is made manifest. Together we are better, and with your kind support, we believe an entire community can be changed for good.
